friendship

As they say friends aren't jumper cables, you don't throw them into the trunk and pull them out for emergencies.

On Choosing a Chief Executive for ESCOM

Greenwell C. Matchaya A slightly modified version appeared in the Nation news paper’s Business section on Thursday 04/03/2010 I am pretty sure that for most government theorists, executive search agencies, management consultants and those of us with some advanced level of management theory it is platitudinous that the quest for any company’s CEO is probably the single most important decision that a Board of Directors has to periodically make.

'closing deals' is very different from having a 1000 leads 5. set the price as high as you possibly can at the pre-existing market conditions.
